The flowers seem even more super-abundant today: I'll be gathering bunches and bunches of them before they're mown at the end of the week.
But lest I fall into the trap of thinking that nature is all beauty, there was a peculiarly repellent pile just above these. Recognisable was a small heart, a lot of intestines, and an even smaller - maybe rat-size? - paw. And unidentifiable gunk. What happened? A coyote? One of our great horned owls (though of course they usually eat anything whole, and then pellet up a compressed version of what they can't digest)? A red-tailed hawk? I've certainly seen them demolish rabbits out back, but this seemed tidier. Some combination of the above? Whatever it was, be very very grateful I'm just bringing you pictures of flowers, and of Alice balancing on the slope above some of them.
